Porcino Mushroom Festival of Motta Visconti
One of Lombardy's most anticipated food festivals, entirely dedicated to the porcino mushroom
About Porcino Mushroom Festival
The Porcino Reigns Supreme in Motta Visconti
When autumn arrives, Motta Visconti — a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan within the Ticino Park — becomes the Lombard capital of the porcino mushroom. The Porcino Mushroom Festival, now in its 49th edition in 2026, is one of the most anticipated and long-standing gastronomic events in the region, capable of attracting thousands of visitors from Milan and the entire region.
A Gourmet Trail Through the Historic Center
The heart of the festival is the historic center, with Via Borgomaneri as its backbone: commercial activities and refreshment points offer an entire porcino-themed gastronomic experience — risotto dishes, crepes, plates, themed aperitifs — served throughout lunches, dinners, and tastings. The town dresses up for the occasion with its characteristic courtyards and picturesque views, while shops remain open in the evening for public strolls.
More Than Just Gastronomy
Alongside the porcino mushroom, the program features outdoor music, parades, book presentations, and recreational activities that involve the entire village. The 2025 edition, the 48th, opened on Saturday with a grand risotto event in Piazza Leonardo da Vinci and continued on Sunday with stands offering local typical products.
Organized by the Municipality of Motta Visconti with the support of Confcommercio Abbiategrasso and local entities, the Porcino Mushroom Festival is now an unmissable event for lovers of good food and a source of local pride for the town in the Ticino Park.
